Sorry you're still in a blue mood, Gaby...maybe check out some of the funny self portraits that people have taken to cheer you up :)

Great show of emotion with your pose and your lost gaze, and the background is just amazing. Another excellent capture!

Though I prefer the first one, the processing here makes for a very "artsy" effect, I think. Great job!

Love the perspective and the inclusion of the bit of sky with the darker grungy walls. I like the pose, and the title is very fitting. Excellent work!

Wow, what a way to start the challenge! Great processing and I've love to know how you did this. Make sure to thank your wife for her nagging as I'm really going to enjoy seeing more of your stuff. Welcome aboard!

How can you be reading that book if you're looking at me? :P

Nice lighting and I like the background, which fits well with the theme. The coy glance over the book makes this shot for me. Love it!

Great pose and the lighting is bang on. I think the reflection really adds to this. Excellent shot!

Day 3 - The Eye

Love the dark feel of this. Having your face partially hidden and only showing one eye really makes this shot for me. This gives me an idea that I may shoot :)

Excellent work!

Another great triptych from you. Love the emotion you're portraying and the dark tones really work for it.

I think you pretty much summed up the idea of this challenge with your phrase "this one's for me". With the usual challenges, our shots have to cater to the voters in some way in order to get a decent score. With this challenge, there are no votes to garner, and really nobody you need to impress. It's a way to learn and express yourself the way you see fit. Thanks for sharing this emotional side of you :)
